A SCARLET FEVER CI RE.
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by Dr. Luhan. ,
A new treatment for scarlot fever
which, he Nay, has had a long series
of victories and no failure In Its strug
gle with the disease? for nearly eight
years. Is now oflered aa a free scien
tific contribution to the medical profes
sion by lr. J. K. (', Luliun, of Kant
Seventy-second street, N. Y. Notlrlug
that most deaths from the dlswwe
were the result of paralysis of tbe
heart, ho devised a treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre
vents anaemla-or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles and ahto prevents
kidney complication.
The physician la speaking of his
treatment, said:
"As to my treatment The frermt of
scarlet fever diminish tbe red blood
corpuscle. Anaemia next sets in
through the poverty of the blood, and
paralysis of the hourt follows. My
treutment Is curative and ellmlnatlve.
In the first four days of the disease,
prescription No. 1 increases the Iron
In the red blood without Impairing
the function of the kidney. The
Ingredients of No. 1, and also another
substance, ads on tbe kidneys In such
a way as to cause the red corpuscles
which have been destroyed by the dhv
eaxn germs to be eliminated from the
blood. Often these dead corpuscles
cause congestion In the Interior mech
anism of the kidneys, which turn Into
Itrlghfs disease. Tho extra oxygen In
tho blood prevents paralyBls of tbe
heart, which Is due to the presence In
tho blood of rarton monoxide.
"I always Insist that, as soon as evi
dence of tho disease appear, the pat
ientusually the patient Is a child
he bathed In warm water, and then
placed In lightest and best ventilated
room of lis home. The medicine oust
he purchased only of reliable drugglBts,
as It must be perfectly pure and con
tain no chemical likely to depress the
heart action. It must be kept In an
amber colored bottle, as It Is affected

ons used In the preparations, the med
icine should be thrown away arter the
patient l woll anS : renewed when
needed again."
Engllth Woman IWlllclaa.
The considerable part which women
play In politics Is well expressed by the
London Mall In an article upon the re
cent death of Lady Grey, wife of Sir
Kdward Crey, Secretary of State for
Foreign 'Affair. It said In part:
Kven apart from her devotion to her
husband, she was the keenest possible
Liberal politician, though the daughter
of an old Tory Bqulre, Major S. V. vV Id'
drlngton (whose ancestor Is men
tioned In the Imlliid of Chevy
Chase) and her personal popularity in
the Border Country was responsible for
much of Its liberalism. For Sir Ed
ward she worked incessantly and bril
liantly, from his first political cam
palgn, two months after his marriage
in 1885, down to the last cattle, irom
whose triumph she baa been so trag
trnllv called away.
Lady Grey had a large desk at Fal
loden devoted to political papers, ans
wered many of Sir Edward's letters,
frenuentlY took notes at hts opponent's
meetlnes of points In the speeches
which she thought needed reply.

"There is but one change, one

question of the term of a member. I
am perfectly willing to admit that, as
at present constituted, where a mem

placed in the position that Just as

TUE CARPENTER'S SQUARE.
History of Its Invention and Manu
facture.
Carpenters wbo use the common
steel square, a very necessary ad
junct to their trade, perhaps give lit
tle thought to bow, when and where
this article was first "produced. While
there are millions of squares manu
ractured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth cen
tury was born there was not one in ex
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Slier Howes, a
poor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South Shaftsbury, was called upon by
a peddler of tinware to shoe a horse.
These peddlers traveled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house, buying everything In the way of
barter. This one bad a number of
worn out steel saws that he bad picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, Bhoelng the peddler's
horse and receiving the saws In pay
ment, and each thought he had an ex
Tbe blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, at right
angles thus making a rule or measure
superior to anything then in use. After
a few attempts he succeeded in making
a square, marked it off into inches and
fractions of inches and found that It
answered every purpose that he in
tended It for.
In the course of a few weeks during
his spare hours he made a number of
these squares, which he sent out by
peddlers, who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon be had or
ders coming In (aster than he could
supply the demand. One of his steel
"souares" would sell for $5. or 16,
which was five times as much as it
cost him
He applied for and obtained a patent
on his invention so that no one else
could deprive blm of the profit it gave
him. It was Just after the war of 1812,
and money was scarce and difficult to
get But he worked early and late,
and as he earned money he bought
Iron, and hired men to help him. In
a few years be was able to erect
large factory and put In machinery for
the making of squares, which hy this
time had found their way all over the
country' and had made their inventor
famous, t -

They told me of one remarktble
man wbo came from New York in
1S76, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or of a
single community. The story I3 well
worth telling, because it shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as tbe material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head of
natural resources, such a3 climate,
soil, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but It must find the genius to use
thera In the best way before It can be
a great country. This fact is fully
appreciated in Georgia, wilch is con
sequently proud of the enterprising
men it has attracted into its citizen
ship from other parts of the United
States and anxious to get more of
them.

WILLIAM
a fine start In a commercial career
when his health began to tail, thirty
years ago. He decided the best way
to save bis life was not to become an
idle traveller or professional health
aeeker, but to find a good climate and
plenty of interesting work. That, by
the way, is tbe scientific way for a
weak man to become strong, provided
be begins in time. The West is full
of men wbo have done It, and they
have made remarkable history for the
country as well as for themselves.
Mr. Hunt has studied the climate ef.
many parts of the world and thinks
there Is none better than Middle
Georgia. But as I read his story, as
he bas set It down at the request of
his Southern friends, I conclude that
any country would be good for blm
which furnishes an opportunity tor
emplre-bullding, and that be would
languish in the best climate if there
were no big things to which be could
set his hand. Here in his own words
you may see the true spirit of the
empire-builder:
"Natives of old settled parts of the
world fall to understand the irresist
ible attraction of new countries, to
men of energy, self-reliance and force.
Such persons are really and truly
creators. They make meadows of
swamps, create farms from wilderness,
establish cities where commerce de
mands markets, build court houses
and churches, found schools and col
leges. Everywhere they go, they car
ry the seeds of civilization. This work
of creation goes on indefinitely. No
matter how rapid the growing there
is constant additional work to be
pushed on in a new country."
That ls the idea in the abstract;
Mr. Hunt bas shown what it is in
the concrete by building a railroad,
establishing a cotton mill and a bank,
and inaugurating other commercial
enterprises. But thi3 is not bis great
est contribution to Southern progress.
Any man can do those things if be
has capital or can command it but
there are other things which can only
be done by the man who possesses
faith, indomitable' perseverance, and
genuine interest in humanity.
Became a Live Stock Builder.
When Mr. Hunt went to Georgia
the live stock interest was in a low
state. Farmers thought it a positive
injury to have cattle trampling the
soil because it seemed to pack the clod
into a hard brick substance. ; More
over, the Southern cattle fever was a
constant menace. This Northerner
thought thnt Cporla, ousrM to be the
I .: c.f :, Lvr-os and flit'-!: eui
itjcwU-.-J .with. .f-r:..:3 ol -I-
of the business. He went to the Isl
and of Jersey to select the best stock,
and now the blood of bis herd Is la
evidence all over the South, as well
as in Cuba. But before this result
was achieved he bad to do some good
scientific work in learning bow to
make his cattle immune against dis
ease. He discovered the germ which car
ried the contagion, and the cattle tick
which carried the germ, and found a
way to exterminate both. Then be
showed his neighbors how to improve
the pastures by planting grass so that
"the touch of the cow's foot instead
of being a curse to the land, has made
the farms glow with shimmering
green and plenty," to quote his words.
Here was a bigger achievement than
the building of cotton mills and rail
roads because it showed thousands of
people one way to become prosperous
on small farms. It literally added
millions to the wealth oftbe South.
But the enthusiastic man from tbe
North did not stop there. He thought
